Garry Kasparov talks Putin and the future of artificial intelligence

When IBM supercomputer Deep Blue defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov in May 1997, it was considered a monumental achievement for artificial intelligence. But in his new book, Deep Thinking, Kasparov shows how this discovery only set up a number of new hurdles for the artificial intelligence world to overcome. "We realized after 1997 that it's very much back to square one because beating the world champion and making it to the top of Mount Everest in chess - we just discovered at that point that there are many, many high peaks ahead of us," Kasparov told NBC News' Chuck Todd in the latest edition of 1947: The Meet the Press Podcast. "The question of artificial intelligence still remained unanswered." Kasparov, who has been a vocal critic of Vladimir Putin's regime in Russia, notes that there is an intersection between his interests in computing and democracy.
